similar to: Mails repopping

Hi I'm very new to Dovecot (been using Courier for 5 years), but I've been persuaded of the merits of Dovecot and since the server needs upgrading that seems like the perfect time/excuse. On a test server, I set up postfix and installed Dovecot (running 32-bit Debian Squeeze, installed from apt-get). I mirrored the mail store (Maildirs, for historical reasons located under

Hi After successfully setting up dovecot, I see this error in the logs. Aug 30 22:41:45 mail dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(sbrereton at domain.co.uk,64.88.168.84): Password query returned multiple matches Aug 30 22:41:52 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<sbrereton at domain.co.uk>, method=PLAIN, rip=64.88.168.84, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS Can you tell

Hi I run a small mail server with Dovecot and postfix. Several of the accounts are popped by an external email provide I use, mostly out habit and also for a bit of redundancy. I have no details on that external server except that it uses exim. Lately, it's been repopping mail from accounts (mail is left on the server so I can use IMAP) at fairly frequent, but undetermined, intervals. Before

Hi Can anyone point me to a howto to arrange for multiple domains to deliver to one inbox with Dovecot? For example, user1 at example.com and user1 at example.net should both be delivered to /var/spool/mail/virtual/example.net/user1 Currently, I have the dovecot LDA set as: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mailsystem argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver

Hi I'm using Dovecot version 1:1.2.15-7 installed on Debian Squeeze via apt-get.. I have this error in the logs. /var/log/mail.log.1:2490:Jan 19 12:02:55 mail dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections): user=<user at example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, secured I never changed this from the default 10.

Hi I have a script that checks the logs each day and mails me invalid user attempts and authentication failures for the previous day. (I use fail2ban to ban multiple attempts in a short space of time). For some reason, this appears every day: Oct 11 06:25:12 mail dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(simon at mydomain.net,127.0.0.1): Password mismatch Oct 11 06:25:19 mail dovecot:

Hi Could someone explain to me the difference between LOGIN and PLAIN? I've been googling for a while, but haven't found anything. Thanks. Simon

Hello, i have to backup (tape library) a mailsystem with about 300.000 Mailboxes on 2 backends. Summary of all mailboxes are 2 TByte. The mailstore is mdbox. Is it save to do a simple filesystem backup (full and incremental) with backupsoftware? What is the prefered strategy to do a backup for desaster recovery (mailsystem crash) and restoring single usermailboxes? Regards, Claus

Hi I'm about to upgrade to 2.1.7 in my test environment, but "doveconf -n -c dovecot.1.conf > dovecot.2.conf" is producing a blank file, so I am unsure how to proceed. I know a lot has changed between them, so I don't really want to have to start from scratch unless I have to. I have tried both as my user and with sudo. Simon

Hi, we start to run out of diskspace soon as our users start to keep mails for longer time periods. That's fine, but space consuming. The maildirs are about 1 TB in total, and not long ago we enabled zlib which is very nice. Now I have some thoughts about the next steps: a) Migrating the whole system to a new server with more storage? b) Install a virtual server for the mailsystem and an

Hi; This is my 6th day installing my first Postfix/Dovecot installation. The Postfix mailing list indicates I've got the MTA under control so now I'm seeking your help with the MDA. I get these errors with legitimate email addresses: Oct 24 11:47:38 myserver dovecot: auth-worker: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Access denied for user

Hi This is a new one on me - I've never seen spammers attempt to use to SASL Auth to inject spam. None of the users they are trying (newsletter, dummy, test, etc.) exist, but what worries me is the illegal chars error - is this a known vulnerability in dovecot they are trying to exploit? I'm running 1:1.2.15-7 installed from apt-get.. Oct 17 15:07:16 mail postfix/smtpd[14422]: connect

Hi Folks, I have to setup a new server with a fritz-pci-ISDN-card inside. For it the fcpci-Packages from atrpm-repo is needed. Trying to install this package on a machine with the newest CentOS5-Plus Kernel I get an error message Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 is needed by package fcpci-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 Okay -I have a vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus.

The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not just TWO like now). Having an altstorage1 and altstorage2, we

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hi, I have mailsystem with virtual users only (/home/vmail/domain/user). I need to integrate RT3.x (a ticketing system). I have installed the client but I need to send mail to a pipe. Rt wants me to insert: |/usr/bin/rt-mailgate --queue bla --action bla --url http://bla.bal/ In /etc/postfix/aliases. That does not work for me. What is the right way to achieve that mail to rt at mydomain is
